not sure of any in the areas you are asking about. osceola county holds the most bald eagles in the SE United States. i know there are eagles in the areas you are visiting, but a drive down Canoe Creek Rd south of Kissimmee will almost guarantee sitings of eagles!!

good luck!!

The Eagle nest locator is a must for BE shooters in Fl. some very accessible nests in bradenton and Cape Coral that I know. I will be Winter haven in a weeks time and will check out the locator there.
